Somerville Residential Facility Has Severe Commercial Water Damage Problem

Water damage is bad enough in a Somerville residential facility; adding in sewage to the issue makes it a dangerous situation that needs to be handled professionally due to the danger of cross-contamination. The image in the Before Photo does not show the true extent of the sewage cleanup needed as the patterned carpet hides the water spots well. SERVPRO techs never rely on visual inspections to determine the scale of a water damage event; instead, they use multiple devices to determine the migration path of the moisture. The After Photo shows the actual amount of damage done by the sewage-tainted water. The entire carpeted hallway needed to undergo removal and disposal so the subfloor could get dried and disinfected before new carpet installation.
